The Excitement Intensified

If Tang Wulin were given another ten years, perhaps he would then have the confidence to win the entire Battle of Five Gods.

Ever since he met his biological father, he had set a different goal for himself. At present, he did not feel unduly excited over his victory. It was more or less an expected victory according to his plan.

“Big brother, you’re awesome.” A light shadow flashed once, and Xie Xie appeared in front of Tang Wulin. Xie Xie hugged him promptly.

Tang Wulin spoke with a slight helplessness, “Let go of me quick. You’re making me look bad.”

Xie Xie burst out laughing. “We knew that you’ll perform miracles for sure.”

Tang Wulin rolled his eyes at him and said, “Nonsense! That’s not what you all said when I consented to participate in the Battle of Five Gods the other day.”

“Cough cough. Let bygones be bygones. You were engaged in closed door cultivation for a few days, right? You must have achieved a qualitative leap,” said Xie Xie cheekily.

The rest of them were walking over in succession. Not only the Shrek Six Monsters, but Dai Yueyan was among them too.

“Congratulations, Wulin.” Dai Yueyan stretched out his hand for a handshake.

Tang Wulin stretched out his hand and shook Dai Yueyan’s. He was met with a bitter look on the crown prince’s face.

“I’ve always harbored the thought of being a top-grade soul master ever since I was young. I had wished to be a virtuous emperor of my generation. But now, you’ve defeated me as far as our cultivation base is concerned. I thought that only big brother Long was capable of defeating me. Currently, there’s you as well. I truly wonder how all of you train and cultivate. Perhaps, it’s truly a matter of being naturally endowed.”

Dai Yueyan looked at Tang Wulin. He suddenly had the same thought as his father. Among the family members, his sister had remarkable foresight. He should not have allowed Tang Wulin to leave had he known back then. If he had taken action at the time, perhaps his sister would have gotten her way.

Tang Wulin’s status and position then was not as influential as he was now. It would have been fairly convenient for Dai Yueyan to engage in some trickery.

“Your Highness is too courteous. You’re already outstanding. The only difference is our experiences. We spend more time and effort in cultivation while you have to concern yourself with the affairs of the empire. Being distracted will certainly impact your cultivation.”

Dai Yueyan spoke in an unpleasant tone, “There’s no need for you to console me. You’ve also devoted part of your attention to being skilled in the mechas. Didn’t you just win this round in the Battle of Five Gods? Anyway, have a good rest. I hope you’ll be just as outstanding in tomorrow’s competition. By the way, I’ll never forgive you if my sister’s issue is unresolved.”

The crown prince then left in a majestic manner.

As soon as he was gone, the Smiley Face Douluo came over. The Smiley Face Douluo did not utter a word but gave Tang Wulin a big thumbs up.

Those from the Star Luo Empire who were acquainted with Tang Wulin did not expect him to triumph in today’s battle. They were astounded with the miracles he performed as soon as he entered the battle.

Yue Zhengyu smiled and spoke, “Sect Master Hu, you won’t find this surprising anymore if you were to know that our Sect Master is the dual champion for our Federal Star Dou Battle Network Challenge’s mecha battle and soul master battle. He’s not human.”

Hu Jie burst out laughing. “I’m truly proud to have such an outstanding Sect Master. You didn’t get to see the old man En Ci’s expression at the time! I find it hilarious just thinking about it. The old man had to admit defeat this time. However, I’m afraid it’s going to get tougher in the following rounds after today’s battle.”

Tang Wulin looked toward Hu Jie with an inquisitive look in his eyes.

“The Star Luo Empire underestimated the Sect Master whose age has baffled them. Moreover, Dai Tianling prefers to not offend our Tang Sect after all. Thus, he chose Huang Zhengyang as the participant for the mecha battle. Huang Zhengyang, albeit a divine mecha master, is not a Hyper Douluo. In reality, a person’s powerful cultivation base has more influence over the outcome of a mecha battle than one’s mecha operating skills.”

“However, the Star Luo Empire is going to face some trouble in the next round after being defeated in today’s battle. I believe that the opponent will certainly send out powerful powerhouses to participate in the following rounds. So be careful, Sect Master.”

Tang Wulin nodded ever so slightly. In addition to his cultivation, Huang Zhengyang was powerful due to his moral standing and his importance to the Star Luo Empire. He was the divine mecha master with the greatest support from the Star Luo Empire, though he was not necessarily the most powerful in his abilities. Tang Wulin won today’s match with trickery. Although Huang Zhengyang was confident of himself, he had never encountered anyone as prodigal as Tang Wulin who had used pure soul-forged metals for his black mecha. Hence, Huang Zhengyang had misread his opponent.

Tomorrow would be the second round of the Battle of Five Gods. Without a doubt, the battle would be even tougher. Yet, the tougher the battle was, the more excited Tang Wulin got.

He was already anticipating tomorrow’s competition. Tang Wulin would certainly benefit a great deal from the experience even if he were to lose the competition tomorrow as long as he expressed his true abilities. Just like today’s mecha battle, Huang Zhengyang’s varied operating skills and his read of the the battle had inspired Tang Wulin greatly. It was only by sparring against such peak powerhouses that would be of great benefit to Tang Wulin’s elevation.

“I’m going back to review my experience of today’s battle. We shall continue tomorrow.”

The first round of the Battle of Five Gods ended in an unexpected manner with the Tang Sect’s Sect Master’s victory. The outcome shocked the entire Star Luo Empire.

More than fifty percent of the people from the empire watched the live streaming of the competition. Another forty percent of the population watched the replay.

A competition which was supposedly the empire’s propaganda turned out to be a fiasco where the opponent managed to achieve victory instead. The whole of the Star Luo Empire was shocked without a doubt.

What else could be more stunning for the people of an empire which advocated individual heroism?

The Tang Sect’s Sect Master, Tang Wulin became well-known to each and every family in the Star Luo Empire in a short while.

The Tang Sect had a prestigious reputation in the Star Luo Empire. Thus, Tang Wulin was regarded as an insider.

The Star Luo Empire’s government had put in much effort to publicize the event. The competition was organized for Tang Wulin after he had inherited the position of Tang Sect’s Sect Master so he could express his sincerity to the Star Luo Empire. The profits from the ticket sales and broadcasting royalties were donated to the empire’s research facility for the research on mecha and soul devices.

Such publicity naturally had a favorable impression on the Star Luo Empire’s citizens despite their curiosity.

Their patriotism incited their wish for the empire to acquire victory in the competition. However, Tang Wulin’s sincerity and his close relationship with the Star Luo Empire had altered their wishes whereby winning the competition was no longer important. They cared more about the excitement generated by the battles.

After watching the first round of the mecha battle, the common folks longed for more as they listened to Huang Zhengyang’s commentary. They could not help admiring the Tang Sect’s Sect Master. They did not feel ashamed of Huang Zhengyang’s failure as his reputation as the pillar of the empire remained intact.

There was a deluge of comments soon after. Although most agreed that the Tang Sect’s Sect Master had won this round of the competition, in reality, it was a bit unfair to the pillar of the empire.

Hence, it was an evenly-matched competition in the eyes of most people in the empire. In any case, it was truly an exciting battle of divine order.

A few of the divine mecha masters in the empire had their own reserved opinions. Two of them even expressed their interest to spar against Tang Wulin in a mecha battle.

The excitement surrounding the Battle of Five Gods intensified rapidly and ignited a ‘mecha’ fervor in the entire Star Luo Empire.

The government had received funds which were in astronomical sums for the broadcast of the second round of the competition. Almost all the soul televisions’ private channels were streaming the recorded replay at a high cost to the public.
